A Oar Heating Device.

An official test of the steam heating
apparatus, as applied by the Milwaukee
aud ST. Paul, was made last week upon
that company's short-linc train, which
runs between st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis. The device consists Of the use of
exhaust steam from the dome of the
engine, carried through pipes under
meath the engine and cars, with fiex-
ibe coupling bet ween each car. This
pipe connects in the centre of each
car with radiating pipe on each side
with branch under each seat. The
pipes are so inclined that water con-
densed from the steam escapes from
the bottom of the car. The test SEEM
ed TO be perfectly satisfactory, the
thermometer registering eighty de-
grees within the car, while outside it
stood at zero, with pressure of six
pounds to the square inch inside the
car The heat was distributed equit-
ably, and seemed to be devoid of the
dryness which is ordinarily experience
ed in day coaches when heated by
stoves. The fireman of the engine de-
clared after the test that he saw no
perceptible difference in the amount OF
coal used. Another test will be made
soon on through train with a greater
number of cars.

Two Thousand Victims,

LONDON, February 24.-Reports re-
ceived up to tonight indicate that two
thousand lives were lost by the earth
quakes, which appear to have centered
in the Genoese Riviera, where over fif-
teen hundred people were killed. AT
the village OF Bajardo, situated at the
top of a hill, rumber of the inhabi-
tants took refuge in church when the
shocks were first felt. A subsequent
and greater shock demolished the
church, and three hundred If the peo.
pie who were IN IL were killed. The
destruction of property in the sections
visited by the earthquakes was i'm
mense and widespread.
In some cases villages built on the
mountain side were toppled into the
valleys. Three railway trains have
been dispatched from Rome with food
for the sufferers and several regiments
of troops have been sent TO provide
any assistance possible. Two slight
shocks were felt to-day at Nice aud
Cannes, but no injury was caused by
either. Yesterdays disturbances kill
ed persons and injured 10 at Nice !;
killed A and injured at Bar; killed
2 and injured IL at Bollene. At
Cbateau-Neuf many were injured At
Savona two houses fell, killing 8 per-
sons and injuring Is. The whole
population of Savona are bivouacked
about the town.
THE PANIC AT NICE,
There was a second shock at Men
tone to day, where fifty persons have
been injured and one killed. The
panic at Nice has not yet subsided.
Fugitives are fleeing in every direct.
ion. The people are afraid to re-enter
their houses and hotels, and last night
the heights back Of the city were
crowded with refugees. Two thous-
and English, American and Russian
visitors were camped out during the
night on the elevated ground. Six
thousand persons have left the, city
and started for Paris. The son of Mr..
Albert N. Hatheway, the American
Consul at Nice, was seriously injured.
Sixty houses at Nice are totterlng
and ready to fall from shatterings in-
iicted by yesterdays earthquakes.
Many others are much damaged, and in
most residences more or less of tue
furniture was damaged by the severity
of the shocks.
REFUGEES AT MONTE CARLO.
Monte Carlo is filled with thousands
of refugees from Cannes, Nice, Men.
tone and San Reno. 1t is difficult to
find shelter for the great number OF
people, and last night many of them
were compelled to camp out A more
confident feeling prevails to day
Gaming has been suspended, and a
band is playing on the terrace for the
purpose of restoring confidence to the
frightened people.
Shocks were felt at Parma, Turin
and Cosenza. Undulations of the
earth were noticed at Catania, In Sicily,
at the foot of Mount Etna. The di.
rector of The Turin Observatory tele-
graphs that the seismic instruments
are now quiescent and that no further
disturbance is feared.

act relation" to Mr. Yancey, he is no
doubt proud OF the fact that he was akin
10 so great man. lie sets much store
by blood, as we all know, and this state
nient was probably made to let the pdb-
lie understand that he is no bug-eater il
he does edit country newspaper; that
he Is kin to a man who made big rep
uation as secession orator and went to
the Confederate Senate.
The editor of the CHRONICLE has
never claimed any relationship to Hon.
William L. Yancey o! Alabama, yet we
are proud of the fact that that he de-
voted the powers Of his brilliant intel
lect to the advocacy of truth and the
defense of the rights Of the South, and
therefore we honor his memory. The
editor OF the Tobacco Leaf ignores all
ties Of blood, all memories OF the past
and all hopes Of the future, thus assum'
ing a position as far removed from hu
man sympathy as that of broken dowr
draw mule having neither pride OF an
cestry nor hope Of posterity.

SALE OF THE BIvoUAc.

The announcement is made Of the
purchase OF the Southern Bivouac by
the Century Company, of New York.
Two years ago the Southern Bivouac,
which had been the journal of the
Southern Historical Society, was pur-
chased by B. F. Avery & Soas and
placed in editorial charge OF Basil w.
Duke and Richard W. Knott.
The purpose of the new conductors
was TO broaden the scope Of the MAJ
azne and make a distinctive represen-
tative OF Southern literature, history
and social life. During these two
years the Blvouac has been most
creditable representative OF Southern
letters, and it has attracted attention
North and South. Its contributors have
been drawn entirely from the South
and in addition to the writers with
national repu' tons, it has many orig
inal and striking papers from young
and unknown men and women.

Gov. TAYLOR can blame no one ex-
cept himself for the coal oil rumors.
He chose his own political surround
ings and associations and he is now
learning the homely lesson that "il
you lie down with dog you'll get up
with heas." The Union first pub
lshed furious threats against rumor,
and after all its buster the whole thing
is still nothing but rumor which no
respectable man would think Of be-
lieving. Gov. Taylor's political treach-
cry is iair target to be shot at; his pri-
vate character is his own property, and
should be respected.

TAR IF PERFORMERS"

The protection Democrats in Con-
gress, who have been laboring for many
month ON plan to reform the tariff
without interfering with the privileges
OF any of their monopolistic constitu-
ents, have finally evolved scheme
which, while it really has but little TO
do with the tariff, but is more like a
scheme simply to reduce the surplus,
has some good points about it. 1t puts
on the free list few of the articles
which the "reformers" constituents do
not manufacture, and does so much
good at least. Aside from this it re-
moves the tax from tobacco and weiss
beer and leaves open the question
whether the tax on whisky shall be re-
duced all along the line. As compro-
mise with their conscience without ex-
pense to the purses it will be favorably
regarded by the monopolists whom
these protectionists are sent to Congress
to represent-Ex.

Lebanon Herald: The chief danger
to the success OF the proposed prohibi-
tory amendment, in the Herald's opin-
ion, lies in the argument which has
already been made, and which will be
made with renewed force and frequen-
cy MS the canvass progresses, that the
adoption Of the amendment will mate
rally increase the rate of taxation.
Many men who, as mere matter Of
sentiment, would probably favor prohi-
bition, will be influenced against it il
they can be made to believe that its
enforcement will increase the taxes CT
their property. The argument which
reaches mans pocket is usually the
most potent of all arguments.
